He was once the Martial God of Ten Thousand Realms, a legend who shattered heavens with a single strike. But betrayal sealed his divine soul into the frail body of Lin Feng—a scorned, beaten son-in-law of a crumbling clan. Mocked as trash, humiliated by his wife’s family, and cast aside like a broken tool, he endured it all with a smile. Why? Because beneath his ragged exterior burns the heart of a god, waiting to unleash chaos on a world that forgot his name.

Divorced and discarded, Lin Feng walks away from the Lin Clan’s sneers, his steps leading him to the downtrodden Ye Clan—a family of outcasts clinging to survival. They see a wanderer. He sees a canvas. With cunning sharper than any blade and secrets deeper than the abyss, he begins to mold them in the shadows, turning weaklings into warriors, paupers into kings. Every insult fuels his resolve. Every enemy becomes a stepping stone.

But the seal on his power is cracking. Ancient foes sense the tremor of a god’s return. Arrogant young masters, ruthless sects, and even the heavens themselves will tremble when the Shadow Patriarch rises. From a forgotten village to the celestial thrones, Lin Feng—Zhan Tian—will carve his name in blood and fire, proving one truth: those who scorned him will kneel, and those who dared to challenge him will break.

Cultivation? Unmatched. Revenge? Ruthless. Destiny? His to rewrite. The world thought it buried a nobody. It awoke a nightmare.

The silver chime glade sang beneath a sky of shimmering twilight, its crystalline trees vibrating with notes that wove light into melody, each hum a thread of enchantment that lulled the heart. Petals of translucent quartz drifted, their soft clinks a siren's call, tugging at the mind with promises of eternal harmony. The air pulsed, radiant and heavy, a resonance that coiled around the soul, urging surrender to its song. Beyond a rift where the glade's heart thrummed with silver light, a chasm chimed—a crystalline hymn that radiated a force so pure it could bind the cosmos in its refrain. The Chime Veil, the eighty-sixth force, had awakened, its boundless melody of infinite power a lilting vow to ensnare Lin Feng's spirit in its song.
